Maternl narrows the knowledge and access-to-care gaps (disparity) for every woman, everywhere- a one-of-kind pregnancy and newborn resource to help guide you to understand your pregnancy and newborn health conditions and medical, social and cultural-sensitive needs, all with clear and easily readable, trusted, evidence-based responses in your own language. Maternl helps you find a prenatal, maternity and newborn care center in every country and territory-in your own language with maps and directions, and provides a personal letter of introduction to a prenatal, maternity or newborn / pediatric healthcare center, to empower you with dignity and respect and advocacy.
Maternl reflects my career-long profession as a physician, an obstetrician, committed to the physical and emotional health of women, children and families. It is an original, one-of-a-kind program, AI-guided, strengthened and shaped by human experience and deep understanding. Its singular mission recognizes and offers the attention and empathies required when mothers and families:
are not aware of and cannot get the pregnancy and newborn health care they deserve
are alienated, disenfranchised and vulnerable
have been subject to racial bias and disparities in their care
do not understand what is happening during their pregnancy or with their newborn
do not have a healthcare advocate
do not have the support when they have experienced the all too common tragedy of a loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal deaths.
We believe Maternl is the most unique and visionary pregnancy and newborn resource available today.
Ask any question, get evidence-based, accurate answers.
Find a prenatal and maternity care center, be introduced and get the care you deserve.

There are great differences throughout the world and within countries
themselves in pregnancy outcomes as measured by stillbirth rates,
maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates. Root causes for
these differences include — but are not limited to — failure to
understand the processes of pregnancy and the post-partum period, the
lack of access to prenatal care centers and maternity centers, and the
unconscious bias and disparities in care of vulnerable populations. It
is the singular goal of Maternl
to address the universal need for all pregnant women and their families
to have immediately available maternal and child healthcare information,
education, and access to prenatal and maternity healthcare centers.
Although it is a program for every woman, every family, its mission is
particularly focused on improving and facilitating early entry into
prenatal healthcare services for vulnerable, disadvantaged and
geographically diverse families, world-wide.
Maternl is different
from other pregnancy apps. Maternl
is a unique, visionary and transformative AI guided companion
strengthened and shaped with experience, humanism, empathy, and deep
understanding by its founder and creator.
Maternl will be your
trusted guide for pregnancy, newborn care and more. It helps you
understand your pregnancy with clear and easily readable responses and
helps you find where to get care in every country — with a personal
letter of introduction to the center.
Maternl strives to help
you find the right help early — always free and private: you never
give your name, and no IP address or other identifier is kept with
what you ask or where you search. Available in
193 languages and
249 countries.

Maternl is a

and respected medical sources, journals, institutions and organizations.
Portions of Maternl use
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to share general, evidence-based information
about pregnancy, prenatal care, post partum (after birth) and baby
health. AI also helps you find and be introduced to nearby clinics using
maps and search tools.
Maternl is

Please keep these points in mind:
Maternl is not to be used for medical advice.
The information and responses are general and may not fit your personal health needs.
Maternl does not ask for your name or any personal health details, and does not replace advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a doctor.
You may ask about a symptom you may be feeling or having but the response will be educational and general. There is no dialog between the program and the user and it is not a substitute for a clinician-patient conversation.
No doctor-patient relationship. Using this tool does not make you a patient or create a medical relationship.
Talk to your provider. Always ask your OB/GYN, midwife, pediatrician, or another qualified provider if you have questions about your health or your baby.
There are defined limits to AI. The information may sometimes be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Always double-check important details with your provider.
